Okay, you know what? After reading this post, I jokingly said we should all just make a pact to reblog it five times a day forever. So I'm gonna do this louder for the people in the back:

AO3 WAS CREATED BY FANS, FOR FANS

AO3 IS RUN BY FANS (VOLUNTEERS, NO LESS)

AO3 IS PART OF THE NON-PROFIT, ORGANIZATION FOR TRANSFORMATIVE WORKS

AO3 IS NOT OWNED BY ANY COMPANIES AND DOES NOT EARN REVENUE

AO3 OPERATES ON DONATIONS FROM FANS

again:

AO3 WAS CREATED BY FANS, FOR FANS

If you’re LGBT reblog and tag with your opinion on beer.

I thought it was fairly normal to feel empathy for bad people.

I thought it was common, even.

But after my Elon/Grimes post... now I'm wondering if I was mistaken about that.

I wrote a post about Trump being traumatized after his assassination attempt and a post about his poor adaptation to aging. I expressed sympathy for him in both cases. But I still maintain my white hot hatred of him and wish for him to face consequences.

Elon was abused by his father. Some of the stories are incredibly tragic. Hearing those stories triggers an involuntary response in my emotional systems that I can't stop no matter how much I despise present-day Elon. I also wonder if that abuse never occurred maybe we wouldn't be dealing with this current clusterfuck.

I have never held so much anger towards a single person as I do my brother. But I also see him as a victim of abuse. I know he was once a really good person and he was slowly corrupted. I feel sorry for him. I mourn the amazing person he used to be. And I still love him.

But that doesn't make me any less angry.

dear usamerican high schoolers looking for a way to resist fascism: sit through the pledge of allegiance.

no getting up. no looking at the flag.

everyone will be looking at you. you'll be sweating like a fucking hippopotamus. your teacher will sternly tell you to get up. you'll feel stupid and that maybe its not worth it because you're just a kid in a classroom. but I'm here to remind you that there are no real life consequences to detention. there are however real life consequences to resisting a thoughtless performance of nationalism.

Working on editing chapter 5 of A Safe Place to Lay Your Heart Down. Hoping to have it up in the next couple of days.

I'm trying to keep the draft 5 chapters ahead of what's edited and posted, and I'm also working on my original novel project, so it's been slow going, but I am still writing this fic!

Finally finished one of the four videos I have in progress! Been wanting to make a video with this song for a while and turns out it's perfect for Jayvik.

Song: BREAKFAST by half.alive

Spoilers for all of Jayce and Viktor's stories from all of Arcane.

Lyrics under the cut:

I lay on the carpet A wrench to let you in Carbonating emotion Tears rising to the rim I fled to the walls, yeah

Be sure I'm surrounded (Where no one can find me) But there’s strength behind a lowered gate (A humble embrace, a vulnerable place)

Say you're open through tears and trembling It's a major step, it’s okay to fret Here's a safe place to lay your heart down It's a second chance, it won't be your last

Letting my guard down Enough to be held close There's strength in the open The broken and exposed Should I flee to the mountains?

Be sure I'm surrounded (Where no one can find me) The strength within an open space (A humble place, a venerable place)

Say you're open through tears and trembling It's a major step, it’s okay to fret Here’s a safe place to lay your heart down It's a second chance, it won’t be your last Say you're open through tears and trembling It's a major step, it's okay to fret Here’s a safe place to lay your heart down It's a second chance, it won't be your last

You know, it's probably ridiculous to assume that Viktor is being somehow mind controlled by the Hexcore in S2 of Arcane. Obviously his actions are entirely his own, right?

After all, mind control plotlines can be a tricky to pull off and when it's employed, creators tend to put a lot of signposts in to let you know what's really happening and how the character isn't themselves anymore.

For example, creators might do things like... having the character's eye color suddenly change, since eyes are the windows to the soul.

Or... creators might indicate that the character's voice has changed somehow, to indicate that another will is acting through them and they're not entirely themselves anymore.

Certainly one really common trope in mind control plotlines is the mind-controlled character is hearing some kind of voice in their head telling them what to do, or seeing someone that isn't there who guides them or controls them.

Certainly in a pinch, if you really want to drive home that a character has been mind controlled and hasn't been themselves, you'd make it pretty obvious by having them be horrified by what they've done once the mind control wears off!

Bonus points if their eyes revert back to their natural color and any other signs of a different voice or appearance go away once the mind control is finally lifted! That way it's definitely clear that they've been set free from whatever influence was upon them.

But seriously, without these sorts of really glaring signposts we can't really be sure if a mind control plotline was intended at all!

(Tongue-in-cheek aside, I actually love the subtlety of how Arcane executed the Hexcorized Viktor plotline, and I love how much ambiguity remains. But for anyone who thinks he was totally in control, I mean, come on guys. When I started going down the list of all the things film and tv usually does to signal a mind control plot I literally burst out laughing when I realized how many of them Arcane had hidden in plain sight.)

I keep meaning to post this here and I'm finally doing it! I'm writing Jayvik fic. I'm really bad at finishing long fics, so don't have expectations of this ever actually being finished. That said, I do have three chapters currently posted, and the draft is up to chapter 9, (about 24,000 words) so who knows how deep into it I'll get.

A Safe Place to Lay Your Heart Down (4153 words) by Yolatirra Chapters: 3/? Fandom: Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021) Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Jayce/Viktor (League of Legends) Characters: Jayce (League of Legends), Viktor (League of Legends) Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Time Travel Fix-It, Telepathic Bond, POV Jayce (League of Legends), POV Viktor (League of Legends), More tags to be added Summary: After the end, there's a second chance. The acceleration rune sends Jayce and Viktor back in time, to the day before they met. The arcane has left its mark on both of them, etched into their memories, their souls, and the palms of their hands. They've both had enough of greatness. But if they're lucky, they just might be able to do some good this time.
